...at the open mic in Roebling, New Jersey last Sunday...this poem came from singing one of my favorite John Denver songs...
Summer Kiss
Have
you
ever
had
a kiss
that was
juicy
Red; it
ran down
your chin
You could chew
on the embarrassment
Went back for more
Salty tears
Down your cheek
Touching
Velvety texture
Making the moment
A touch of perfection
Love is…
Vine ripe Jersey tomatoes…
In the words of Guy Clark-
Only two things money can’t buy,
That’s true love and homegrown tomatoes…

A kiss that "ran down your chin". That is wonderful! I love it. You really know how to love that tomato...
Blessings....
hmmmmmmm.....reminds me of eating cashew fruit one lucious bite and your licking from elbow to wrist. A juicy kiss huh, yeah I can say that...
Have a great day and a lucious week.
Peace.
I really enjoyed the imagery in this poem.
Rhapsody B- Interesting site you have, and I loved what you wrote on 10/31, nice story could be a poem...
Thanks guys, I may alter it a few words here and there, always my work in progress, like the Summer Kiss name...
Chef,
Your food poetry rocks. I hope you make it into a book, and I will buy it and we'll read it over our fun dinner/cooking parties.

That is a new slant on the food/love theme, and very well done in to the bargain. Original and telling.
